Jacqueline Nesi has trawled the internet and completed her own research to come up with a list of 67 screen-free activities for younger children.
She says the list is:
- Appropriate for younger children. This list skews toward the toddler and preschool age range, but many activities would work with slightly older kids, too.
- Can be orchestrated by an average (tired) person. Many crafts were eliminated due to complexity, the need for advanced planning, or annoying-to-clean-up ingredients.
- Do not involve screens. Let me be clear: there’s nothing inherently wrong with screens! In fact, those dark, cold, pre-bedtime hours, when we’re also trying to prep dinner, finish work, or just make it through the day, can be great for screen time. I, personally, spend most of my workdays staring at a laptop, so when I’m not working, I’m often looking to do something less screen-heavy with my kids.
